There would be a lot more cheese, of various kinds. And proper chips, made in beef dripping. And icecream from the amazing icecream parlour at the end of my road. ---

Fat. Full-fat everything. Sour cream, butter, cheese, ice cream, those “inside out carrot cake” cookies from Trader Joes that are 300+ calories a pop, and all the prime rib I could shake a stick at. Also, fresh fruit. Okay, possibly used as a topping for cheesecake, but still. I’d eat ripe, succulent blackberries until my fingertips were stained purple. ---

Are nicotine and alcohol included? French fries, steaks, cheeses, fatty meats of all kinds, potato chips, ice cream, various candies, pies, mmmm… this thread is evil. ---

Breakfast: Eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes Lunch: Big hamburger with cheese and/or chili; fries; milkshake Dinner: As much pizza as I can cram into my piehole. Which reminds me: Pie. And ice cream. ---

Cake. Plain yellow spongecake, yellow layer cake, devil’s food cake, coffee cake. Vanilla anything. Vanilla wafers, vanilla pudding, vanilla creme brulee, vanilla gelato, and especially BANANA VANILLA WAFER MERINGUE PUDDING. Any and all varieties of french fries. Shoestring, steak fries, garlic fries, homemade fries, cottage fries. Deep-fried seafood. Breaded fried shrimp, batter-fried halibut, tempura seafood. So much espresso (well sugared with raw sugar) that the whites of my eyes turn yellow. I haven’t been able to drink in years, as it gives me rapid heartbeat. If I could, I’d drink German beer by the quart and Italian red wine ditto. ---

> [@SaharaTea](#): > > Come to think of it, this is my idea of heaven. > [@muldoonthief](#): > > I started to type a huge menu, but figured it would be easier to just say I’d eat like a hobbit. Second breakfast and everything. I have to say, I think you two are definitely on the right track. Gosh, I’d hardly know where to start, but breakfast would for darn sure be WAY different. No more daily oatmeal. No more oatmeal ever. Breakfast would have canteloupe and strawberries and blueberries and biscuits-n-gravy and pancakes and sausage and bacon and whole wheat toast with butter and biscuits with sorghum and shredded wheat in cold milk with fresh peaches and eggs over easy fried in bacon grease and scrambled eggs and hash browns and corned beef hash and keep the coffee coming and…well, you get the idea. Pass the salt and pepper and Tabasco® sauce and maple syrup, please. ---

Maybe I’d get tired of eating after a while. But until then… Deep dish pepperoni pizza hot fudge sundaes Actually, that’s about it. ---

Pudding. Tubs and tubs of pudding. Prime rib and rib eye steaks. Large baked potatoes with gobs of sour cream and butter. Haagen Daaz Coffee ice cream by the gallon (I assume that brain freezes would be eliminated with other bad effects.) I would get a chocolate fountain, and it keep it flowing 24/7. So I could dip my rib-eye steaks in the dark ribbons of goodness. And twinkies. And my fingers. And lots and lots of cheeses. Damn! Now I’m starving for a juicy steak, and we’re having soup tonight because mr. bot has strep throat. ---

Pizza. I can’t eat pizza because of my UC, and it’s one of my favorite things. Also, spaghetti. French fries and chocolate malts. Potato chips. Grilled steak. Chocolate chip cookies. ---

Sushi. Loads of it. Country fried steak with mashed potatoes and white gravy. Creamed spinach. BACON BACON BACON BACON BACON. Red velvet cake with real buttercream frosting. Hell, a bowl of real buttercream frosting, skip the cake. ---

I’m intrigued by a couple of people listing sushi as their forbidden food. What’s all that forbidden about it? Granted, it has carbs because of the rice, but all in all, it’s rather inoccuous as treats go. When I was losing a lot of weight, I still had sushi now and then (as long as I didn’t either sumo-wrestler-worthy amounts of it), and it didn’t cut into weight loss that I could tell. ---

Please learn the difference between “affect” and “effect”. My diet wouldn’t change - I already overindulge in wrong stuff, and underindulge in right stuff, and it doesn’t seem to matter too much except on my teeth. I suspect that even when I overindulge, it’s less than what most people eat normally. ---

Cheese. So much cheese. Bread (and bread-like food like buns, muffins, etc.) and butter. And then, more cheese. ---

There’s very little that I like that I don’t eat, but there are lots of things I could eat a LOT more of. Avocados, macaroni and cheese, nachos with tons of cheese. Scones and muffins, so many pastries. Yeah, I never eat pastries any more because of my “healthy lifestyle.” I’d get one of everything at the local bakery, and have a huge mocha with whipped cream. ---

Nutella on toasted challah for breakfast every morning, with a large full-fat vanilla latte to wash it down. I’m not a big fan of routine in any meal except for breakfast, so I could go on ad nauseum about the other stuff I’d eat, but suffice to say that my intake of shrimp, chicken-fried steak, avocado, cheese (esp triple cream camembert _swoon_), ice cream and butter would probably triple. I have a problem in that I love fat, but fat loves me more… so much so that it gloms onto my ass and refuses to be parted from me. ---

It’s EXPENSIVE. For a while I was eating sushi once a week almost. My favorite place works out to $30 a person for all you can eat. If I don’t do all you can eat, it usually works out to $20 a meal. I can’t afford it. If I didn’t have to spend money on normal food, I could afford to eat sushi every week. ---

I would probably start by eating croissants, cheesecake, pizza, chocolate ice cream, bacon, steak, and nachos. But it wouldn’t take long before I would start eating much less than I do now. I would save money and occasionally have something really good, like Kobe steak. ---

Sure it’s expensive, but the deal in the OP was that it would not affect your BODY at all, expense wasn’t mentioned; it’s non-issue (although I did bring it up in an earlier post :p. ) Still, if I ate all of the sushi I wanted to, I would be HUGE!
